Could VASP calculate the Van der Waals interaction well?

Question on input files/tags, interpreting output, etc.

Please check whether the answer to your question is given in the VASP online manual or has been discussed in this forum previously!

Hello,
In some paper, one thought the DFT could not simulate Van der Waals interacation properly.I wonder if VASP can resolve this problem well?
Thanks.

standard DFT codes usually do not account for Van der Waals forces very reliably.
